Answer:
x = -1 , y = 6
or (-1, 6)
Step-by-step explanation:
First solve for "y" in the second equation:
[tex]-4x-2y=-8\\-4x+8=2y\\y=-2x+4[/tex]
and now, use this result as a substitution for "y" in terms of "x" in the first equation:
[tex]x+y=5\\x+(-2x+4)=5\\x-2x+4=5\\-x=5-4\\-x=1\\x=-1[/tex]
Knowing the value of "x", now we place it in the substitution equation to find "y":
[tex]y=-2x+4\\y=-2(-1)+4\\y=6\\[/tex]
